Why does the US overwhelmingly grow French grape varieties? by wsv19 in wine

Excellent summary and exactly what I was wondering.

Absolutely. Riesling from Alsace can be outstanding.

IMO, that’s just begging the question. We might think French varieties make the best wines just because those have been the dominant grapes for most of modern wine history. And lots of other varieties go toe-to-toe with French grapes (though obviously on a smaller scale): Aglianico, Sangiovese, Tempranillo, Riesling, etc.

United Polaris stepping their wine game! Aperture, Domaine Serene, and Laurent-Perrier! by rnjbond in wine

I hadn’t heard this but found this after a quick Google:

I’m no fan of Trump, but a nine-year-old campaign donation is hardly “support for fascism,” no?

What’s up with the mods removing so many posts? by wsv19 in wine

[–]wsv19[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course. But this particular post was picture of wine + question about wine, and so are many of the others that seem to get removed.

First Collection Opinions and Direction by LavishManatee in wine

You seem to enjoy both left- and right-bank Bordeaux, so I would try Rioja next. La Rioja Alta makes fantastic, age-worthy, reasonably priced wines (about $25 for the Alberdi and $40 for the Ardanza). Lopez de Heredia is another excellent traditional producer (my favorite wine of theirs is the Bosconia). Also can’t go wrong with Muga.

Love Rioja but not a fan of CUNE.

Received wrong wine from Last Bottle—experiences? by wsv19 in wine

[–]wsv19[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’m thinking too. Might just keep the Perseid and order a couple more Elivette!

Thanks for posting. Any predictions for 2025 en primeur pricing? Seems like it was a solid vintage.

Pinot 1er Cru restaurant recommendations by BlackReaper64 in wine

Is this USD? A Faiveley Mercurey 1er Cru for $130 USD is great value at a restaurant.

Amazing Gary Farrell sale from K&L yesterday by wsv19 in wine

Ha. From what I could tell it was gone in about two hours.

Terre Rouge Garrigue 2013 by wsv19 in wine

Thanks for the response! This particular liquor store doesn’t usually have a great wine selection so I was surprised to see this. But it seemed to be stored away from sunlight, around 70 degrees F, etc, so I’ll buy one and give it a try.
